![](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/http://i.imgur.com/mwlIzuq.jpg)
Technology has improved our lives in so many different ways - can you even imagine the times when you were not able to tell your friend you'll be 10 minutes late because there were no mobile phones, and when you were not able to google anything at any time and actually had to use books to research!
It seems like there's an App for everything nowadays, so why not use Apps to enhance your productivity even more?
These apps will help you work more efficiently, procrastinate less, remember things, keep track of your tasks and progress, keep a digital notebook, and manage your calendar.
In the end, everybody has to find out what works best for themselves, but I definitely feel like apps can help you be more organized and productive since we spend so much time on our electronic devices anyway!

Wunderlist
Wunderlist is a simple, beautifully designed App that lets you create and manage to-do lists easily.

It has so many different features that it would be hard to list them all, and there are even tutorials about this app and how to make the most of it!

Forest App
The Forest App lets you plant virtual trees in order to help you being more focused and less distracted!
